Last April, Golf Digest sent me down to Augusta Ga. to take in the Masters Golf Tournament. Spent a week down there wandering around with a sketchbook, a bad hat and a press pass . Apparently every year the magazine sends an illustrator or artist and a guest writer to record his/her observations from the unique perspective of a socially stunted outsider. Also, Jeffery Smith and Mark Ulriksen had the gig the two years before and did extraordinary work, so in terms of precedent and artistic standards, you're kind of in a tough spot . Here are some of the results ,published in the current Masters Preview Issue and online. The Art Director at Golf Digest is Mr. Ken DeLago. The woman above was drawn on the course while I snuck sideways looks through my sunglasses. Tried to do a better version once I got home but this sketchbook drawing was the best I could manage. I'm not sure what she was sitting on, but I want one.
